Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Ravens checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Ravens put a flag in the ground for Oluwafemi Oladejo, 142 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick59 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
The board had Aireontae Ersery higher than the 59th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 91st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick128 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in No. 128 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They reached into another round for Jacob Parrish, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in pick No. 176, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley slid further than he should have, and pick No. 185 is lovely value for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They did well to land Jack Kiser in the 205th pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick213 Rnd6 CJ West
By-the-book stuff, CJ West at slot 213 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at Round 7, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
